🕊 Easter Prayer for Ukraine 🌅
Heavenly Father,
On this holy morning of resurrection, when light conquered darkness,
we lift our hearts in prayer for Ukraine — a land scarred by war, yet unbroken in spirit.
We remember Your Son, who bore the cross,
just as Ukraine bears its own — under the shadow of invasion,
under the weight of grief,
but never without hope.
Lord, bless the Ukrainian people —
the mothers holding trembling hands in basements,
the fathers standing guard beneath burning skies,
the children whose eyes have seen too much,
yet whose hearts still dream of peace.
Bless the soldiers who fight not for conquest,
but for the right to live, to love, to simply exist in freedom.
Strengthen their arms, shield their hearts, and remind them —
they do not stand alone.
Bless the volunteers, the doctors, the chaplains,
those who rush toward the wounded, not away.
Bless the nations who open borders and homes,
and all people who open wallets and prayers.
May their compassion echo Your mercy.
And Lord, we pray too for the defeat of evil —
for the fall of those who glorify death,
who lie, who steal, who send rockets into playgrounds and hospitals,
who dare to crucify peace like You were crucified long ago.
Let their empire of cruelty crumble like the stone was rolled away.
Let truth rise where propaganda once reigned.
Let justice speak where silence was forced.
Because on this Easter, we remember:
Even from the tomb, life emerges.
Even from ashes, Ukraine will bloom again.
We believe in resurrection — not just of one man, but of nations, of peoples, of all that is good.
So rise, Ukraine.
Rise, with your golden fields and blue skies.
Rise, with your wounded hearts and unwavering will.
Christ is risen — and so shall you be.
Amen.
